March 20, 20179 yr Would you trade a few deep runs in the tourney for first round exits if it meant Cal had 3 rings at UK instead of one? I absolutely would. And as much as I love Cal, let's not forget, he has a year of not even making the tourney at UK. I would too. I would also criticize the early exits if he had the 1 or 2 seed and had the early losses in the round of 64 and 32 also.
March 20, 20179 yr 37 years vs 7, but I guess I'm the only one that knows the difference. Or, you're the only one playing by your rules. 5 in 37 years vs. 1 in 25 years Number of years at a school is a pointless argument. And I love Cal.
March 20, 20179 yr Or, you're the only one playing by your rules. 5 in 37 years vs. 1 in 25 years Number of years at a school is a pointless argument. And I love Cal. Number of years at the same school is not pointless. Actually it's an advantage, huge advantage because you don't have to keep building different programs. Do you think it's easier to have to rebuild 4 different programs or to build one program? To say it is no difference is silly.

Do you think it's easier to have to rebuild 4 different programs or to build one program? To say it is no difference is silly. It's easier to stay at one the whole time. Who does Cal have to blame for going to three different programs? Himself. Lessening Coach K's 5 rings because he stayed at the same school is just a dumb argument.
March 20, 20179 yr It's easier to stay at one the whole time. Who does Cal have to blame for going to three different programs? Himself. Lessening Coach K's 5 rings because he stayed at the same school is just a dumb argument. I didn't say it's easier to stay at one the whole time, I said it's easier to only have to build 1 program than it is to build 4. Again, I never lessened K's 5 rings, you keep putting words in my mouth while you continue to ignore the entire take of my original post and that is his early tournament exits get no mention and he gets no blame for those and you only prove my point.
March 20, 20179 yr This just in, Coach K has suspended Grayson Allen for the remiainder of the tournament due to his aggression's on the court.

I didn't ignore the point of your original post. I said that when you have 5 rings, the second most in history, the early exits really just don't matter as much. Call that proving your point all you want. He has five championship rings. When some gets five rings without the early round exits, they can dethrone him.

Call that proving your point all you want. He has five championship rings. When some gets five rings without the early round exits, they can dethrone him. Well when I say he doesn't get criticized for having the most early exits in tournament history when seeded as a 2 or higher and you and everyone else says "the early exits just don't matter" is pretty much saying exactly what I said. My point all along.

My point all along. And your point all along, still doesn't matter. 5 rings is what matters.
March 20, 20179 yr Again, I never said the rings don't mean anything. If we are talking about the most rings ever then why can't we talk about the most early exits ever? He has the most rings ever!!! That's why he gets a break on the early exits!! Is it really that hard to understand?
March 20, 20179 yr He has the most rings ever!!! That's why he gets a break on the early exits!! Is it really that hard to understand?Not hard at all to understand why those who worship him don't criticize him. That doesn't mean he doesn't deserve criticism or others aren't allowed to. I think he's given too many excuses year in and year out for falling on his face with one of the most talented teams in the country at the rapid rate that he does. The fact that he has the most early round exits for a 2 seed or higher speaks for itself. That is all.
March 20, 20179 yr ^Jay Wright is right there with him, and he only has 1 title. If any coach has been given a pass for his tournament failings, it sure isn't Coach K, it's Wright.
